Company: Platform Recruitment
Location: Greater Bristol Area, United Kingdom
Senior / Staff Physical Design Engineer
Location: Bristol Area
Salary: Circa £250,000 + Equity
Working Arrangement: On-site
Employment Type: Permanent
I’m recruiting on behalf of a rapidly growing semiconductor company developing next-generation accelerator technology for high-performance AI computing.
They are seeking a Senior or Staff Physical Design Engineer to lead the implementation of digital control logic within a tightly integrated mixed-signal and analogue subsystem. This is an opportunity to solve complex physical-design challenges involving advanced process nodes, high-frequency circuits and custom analogue/RF integration.
The Role You will take ownership of physical design from architecture through to sign-off, working closely with analogue, digital and DFT engineers.
Key responsibilities will include:
Architecting and implementing high-performance digital control solutions.
Floorplanning, placement, routing and timing closure.
Developing low-power, low-skew clock-distribution networks.
Designing power grids around complex analogue floorplans.
Supporting multi-voltage-domain design flows.
Performing timing analysis across analogue and digital interfaces.
Achieving DRC, LVS and ERC closure on advanced-node processes.
Customising and automating physical-design flows using Python and Tcl.
Supporting DFT implementation and successful tape-out.
Essential Experience At least seven years’ experience in ASIC or SoC physical design.
Strong knowledge of high-frequency, high-performance digital implementation.
Experience across floorplanning, place and route, CTS, STA and sign-off.
Proven work with advanced semiconductor process nodes.
Python and Tcl scripting for EDA flow automation.
Experience integrating digital logic with analogue, RF or mixed-signal circuitry.
Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Experience with sub-7nm tape-outs, PCIe, SerDes, PHY integration, ESD requirements or customised DFT flows would be highly advantageous.
The successful engineer will receive a circa £250,000 salary, meaningful equity and the opportunity to influence the architecture of a genuinely cutting-edge semiconductor platform.
